Chinese home delivery

It’s been a while since we had a big feed of Chinese home delivery for dinner. As always, special fried rice… Crab meat with sweet corn soup – the bigger pieces of “crab” were seafood extender, which was a shame. Seafood extender is really no substitute for real crab! The corn soup flavour was delicious, […]

Work food – transition week

We started out in Subiaco but moved to the new office by the end of the week. Monday – I got myself a toasted hot cross bun from Cafe Cafe (Shop 20, 29 Station St, opposite Subiaco Train Station) for morning tea. They’d toasted it in the sandwich press, which is why it turned out […]

Chicken, mushrooms, garlic, salad

A dinner from last week – Jac bought some barbecue flavoured chicken skewers, which she cooked under the grill. She panfried field mushrooms and whole garlic cloves – yum! As you can see in this photo of my plate, I love my chicken, mushrooms and garlic! Jac also made up a bowl of salad for […]

Happiness drips with maple syrup

I had to work on Saturday this weekend just gone, which was a bummer. But since I had to be out and about anyway, I decided to get to Subiaco a little earlier and grab brunch at Tastings Coffee House – pancakes with banana and maple syrup. For AU$9.90 I wasn’t sure what to expect. […]

Any excuse to indulge!

We had a team meeting on Friday afternoon last week, and as a treat for the troops and to say welcome to new person J, my boss purchased a selection of pastries and tartlettes from Chez Jean Claude Patisserie. I’ve featured these before, but I never get tired of gazing at these gorgeous little pastries […]

Minus cheese

I just wanted to share something I’ve been enjoying for breakfast every now and then – a $2.00 cheesey omelette wrap from Hungry Jack’s – minus cheese. I’ve been trying to eat a little healthier, and part of this means no plastic fast food cheese! I’m sure though, that the orangey cheese gives the omelette [&hell…

Work lunches

Tuesday – new person J and I went to Toraya. I went for my favourite combination of teriyaki chicken and cucumber sushi (AU$4.00) and cooked tuna salad (AU$6.00). J had gone for the raw tuna with avocado sushi. I was thrilled to see our sushi served on new black and white long plates, rather than […]

Dinners at home

4/3/2008 – Jac cooked up some potatoes with mixed herbs, topped with a little melted cheese. She served the potato dish with lamb steaks which she’d marinated with a tasty combination of Worchestershire sauce, tomato sauce, garlic and fresh rosemary and then pan-fried, and a vegetable medley, of carrot, peas and corn. She’d cooked…

A spicy breakfast

I’ve really enjoyed reading about what everyone loves to eat for breakfast. Here’s another breakfast-themed post. Last Monday was the Labour Day public holiday in Western Australia. I love long weekends – we really should have three day weekends on a permanent basis. We slept in, and when I woke up it was after 9AM […]
